Passkeys Are Safer… But There’s a Catch

Apple, Google, and Microsoft replaced your password with a passkey, and almost nobody explains what you actually agreed to.

Passkeys use the same public-key cryptography behind WebAuthn and FIDO2 to make phishing-resistant login real, but the synced version has one weak link the marketing skips.

What you'll learn:
What a passkey actually is: the public-private keypair, the Secure Enclave, and the challenge-response login flow that means there's no password to steal
Why passkeys are phishing-resistant, and how they shut down adversary-in-the-middle kits like Evilginx that defeat password plus 2FA
Device-bound vs synced passkeys, and why the YubiKey version is the strongest one almost nobody uses
How iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, and Microsoft sync quietly rewrite your threat model
The three failure modes nobody puts in the explainer videos: the recovery downgrade, the sync-account compromise, and the fall-back-to-password back door
Why a SIM swap still beats the strongest authentication system ever shipped to consumers
